Your first question can be answered easily on this list. 1. go to song or pattern mode. 2. press the sequencer setup button, its to the right of pattern. 3. press f3. 4. spin the dial to the left, then press inc 2 times. 5. press enter. This turns local off. To turn it back on, follow steps 1 threw 4 then turn the dial back to the left and press enter to put your motif xs back on local mode for normal play. Hope that helps.

Can I configure Sonar or the Motif XS, that I hear only the MIDI-Channel which is selected for recording? It sounds par example a little bit disgusting when I record drums and hear other instruments the same time playing *g* 2. Is there a short key to open the property of a Channel? Until now I place the Jaws Cursor on the track, make a right click and move to Track Properties. 3. And is there a way to see or hear if a Track is armed for recording? Of course I can watch it in the Menu. But maybe there's an other way. I Use Sonar 7 Pro and JSonar. Thanks for your help!
